This collection of anecdotes and stories handed to author David Cataneo is excellent must-reading for the baseball fan. Mr. Cataneo captures the passion and history of America's pastime in an easily readable format. The stories come from baseball fans of all ages from all walks of the sport. My son enjoyed this book as much as I did.

A fantastic collection of stories within the greatest sport of all time. I was recommended this by a good friend (and elder) of mine who loves baseball. Loved it so much I bought and gifted another copy in the same spirit for my #1 homie and lover of the game too per a sweet insistence of his jarheaded self from my own love of the game when we met. A quality life indeed. Read at the start of 2024' and gifted the copy in Christmas 2024.
